No luck with fsb overclocks at higher multipliers on the Athlons....turned out to be a sus drive that wouldn't tolerate fsb increases.

retired now for a while....running a nice and QUIET duron 1000....waiting

PS what happened to the chips???
both Cyrix chips died quickly
the celery is still going at 413
the Duron is still going at 900
the TB900 is around at 990 still
the 1200 won't take voltage increases but will run at 1403 at standard v
the 1333 is still strong as an ox but #2son runs it at stock only now the fun is over..

In my experience, AMD rules in overclocking. The highest I've been able to hit with an intel chip was 500MHz off a 400MHz PPGA Celeron. My Duron 800 was run as high as 1074MHz stable. I've got my 1.4GHz T-bird hitting 1.58GHz right now.

Both AMD and Intel have had "exceptional" overclocking chips. For instance, the Celeron "A" 300MHz was almost guaranteed to hit 450MHz with only a simple voltage increase. Ditto the Duron 600MHz, many hit 1GHz without too much trouble. So they come and go in stages - I wouldn't stick my neck out and say that one vendor's CPUs are more overclockable than the other's ;)

What Albinus said is very true as atm the ball is back in Intel's court with their P4 1.6A CPU as most are reporting between 2.2-2.4GHz which by today's standards is a very good increase. ;)

pent 75 to 90 (my dad went sick when i showed him :D )
cyrix [email protected] (runs but locks up under HEAVY load, 233 is happy)[email protected] (i so wanted 600, but i think the board was holding it back)
Duron [email protected] (now sits happily at 933, its a blue core)
Athy 1GHz to 1170 or somefin...was just playing
yet to OC my new P4 1.6 (not A :( )

system states: no deaths as yet, athy is chipped to buggery tho, still worx ;)
